Bloomington, Ind.—Sept. 13, 2012— Over the years, Kraig Kinser has grown pretty accustomed to having long drives along the World of Outlaws trail. None though are quite like the one he and his team have been on this week, as they will have covered over 1,800 miles by the time they reach Iowa for an event on Friday, following Monday’s race in California.
A busy stretch of nine events in just thirteen days along the West Coast came to a close on Monday for Craig Dollansky and the Big Game Treestands #7 team. After leading the most laps of the inaugural World of Outlaws event at Antioch Speedway last year but not picking up the victory, ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ was ready to make his 2nd appearance at the 3/8-mile.
INDIANAPOLIS (Sept.12, 2012) – Just because the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series doesn’t end the year with a playoff format like NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup or the NHRA’s Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship, don’t think the final dozen races will be without drama. The 2012 WoO season has been one of the most competitive in years with four different drivers leading the standings at one point or another and each also having gone through his share of bad luck. This weekend, the battle continues with Friday’s sixth annual Arnold Motor Supply Shootout at Clay County Fairgrounds in Spencer, Iowa, and Saturday’s FVP Clash at the Creek at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
MARNE, MI – Sept. 12, 2012 – Berlin Raceway’s transformation from an asphalt track to a dirt-covered showplace for one spectacular racing weekend is complete.
More than 300 truckloads of clay now cover the 7/16th-mile oval in advance of the Keyser Manufacturing ‘Down & Dirty 100’ Presented by NAPA Auto Parts, a historic $20,000-to-win World of Outlaws Late Model Series event on Sept. 21-22 that will return the venerable Wolverine State facility to its dirt-track roots.
Bloomington, Ind.—Sept. 11, 2012— A “Speedweek” tests every fiber of a driver, crew and their equipment. With very little time to get from track to track and regroup, a team has to be at full strength to make it through such a stretch. Kraig Kinser just completed the Outlaw California Speedweek with the World of Outlaws, which saw the series race on five consecutive nights. When the final checkered flag flew on Monday, Sept. 10 at Antioch Speedway, Kinser had recorded three Top-10 finishes in the Hendrickcars.com Maxim during the grueling stretch that took the series to three different tracks.
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at a Glance
Clay County Fairgrounds, Deer Creek Speedway
SPENCER, Iowa – Sept. 11, 2012 – Donny Schatz capitalized on a strong West Coast swing to not only regain the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship lead, but to hold the largest margin of the season as the series returns to the Midwest this weekend.
On the strength of seven straight top-five finishes, Schatz is riding a 72-point advantage over Craig Dollansky, who is promoting Friday’s 6th annual Arnold Motor Supply Shootout at Clay County Fairgrounds. NASCAR driver Brad Sweet claimed his first career World of Outlaws victory at the 3/8-mile oval in June.
On Saturday, the Outlaws will compete in the FVP Clash at the Creek at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn. Steve Kinser won last year’s event at the 3/8-mile oval after Joey Saldana landed in Victory Lane the previous two seasons.

Kaeding Claims Antioch Thriller With Last-Lap Slider on Schatz
Schatz’s seventh straight top five pushes his championship lead to 72 points
ANTIOCH, Calif. — Sept. 10, 2012 — Looking for some good entertainment? Just watch Tim Kaeding.
In perhaps the pass of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season, Kaeding slid championship points leader Donny Schatz in turn four on the final lap to earn his fourth Outlaws win of the season on Monday at Antioch Speedway. The packed grandstands erupted for the San Jose native, who reciprocated the affection.
He egged them on by popping a wheelie down the frontstretch after taking the checkered flag. And if his last-lap pass and wheelie weren’t enough, Kaeding was as entertaining in his postrace interview.
“Truthfully, it was a slide for life,” Kaeding said. “I was either going to wear me out, him out or both of us at the same time. It was no holds barred, short track racing. This is what I love about it. It’s always fun and exciting, especially for the fans.”

Schatz Sails to Ninth World of Outlaws Win at Scenic Calistoga
The four-time champion now leads the points race by a season-high 50 points
CALISTOGA, Calif. — Sept. 9, 2012 — It shouldn’t be a surprise that Donny Schatz parked in Victory Lane on Sunday at Calistoga Speedway.
Schatz continued his recent tear in dominating fashion, leading all 25 laps to record his ninth World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win of the season and his second at the scenic half mile.
The victory was the latest highlight in a hot streak that dates back to late July. Schatz has recorded six wins and 15 top fives in the last 17 points races, including a current streak of six consecutive top-five finishes.
The success has also built a 50-point advantage in the championship standings, which is the largest difference between first place and second all season.
